Rachael Ray partially attributes her professional success to the support of her husband, John Cusimano.
“One of the things that, I think, has been essential to my life and my success over the years has been the partner that I chose,” Ray, 56, said during the Tuesday, November 5, episode of her “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” podcast. “I love my husband, John, and [he] works with me and has built our business and our brand together.”
Not only are Ray and Cusimano, 57, on the same page regarding running her eponymous lifestyle empire but they have a mutual commitment to community service.
“My husband and I didn’t get married until very late in life [at] 37 and 38 years old, but it was very important to me that I marry him because I thought this person could be a true partner in what I believe in and helping people,” she stated. “And building, not a business, but a community.”
During Tuesday’s episode, Ray interviewed famed chef Jacques Pépin and noted it was a “great force” that he was married to his wife, Gloria, for 54 years ahead of her 2020 death.
“I wouldn’t be who I am without Gloria. I mean, she changed my life,” Pépin, 88, told Ray. “She took care of things that I didn’t take care of and she died four and a half years ago, and I still cannot sign a check or know what we have in the bank. … She made it possible for me to do what I did and always supported me whether I was writing a book or doing classes or a cruise. She was always with me.”
Ray subsequently celebrated the pair’s long-lasting connection, likening it to her own relationship.
“I love that you talk about how you were different and brought something to each other because that’s what I love about John,” she told Pépin. “He’s a lawyer and a musician. I’m not a musician [and] I’m certainly no lawyer. I hate reading legal documents and official stuff, but we balance each other in a weird way.”
